| Nov 3, 2016 at 4:11 | comment | added | Ouroborus | If a projectile is self-propelled and fired, it's a smart bullet. That aside, consider that races may focus on different weapon types due to what areas of technology they've advanced. In your species' case, perhaps they had an easy way to make/harvest explosives that turned out to be also easy to refine and their science and manufacturing got that out the door earlier than other kinds of weapons. You could think of it as being further along the "explosives" category of their "tech tree". | |

Technically an engine. Motors have rotating movement, engine uses fuel.

Harmonize apparent error (makes sense versus doesn't make sense) based on context, improve grammar
